PURDUE UNIVERSITY
Department of Agricultural Extension
G. I. CHRISTIE, Superintendent
Extension Bulletin No. 62
LnFayette, Indiana, February, 1918
"THE FARMER AND THE WAR"
By James P. Goodrich, Governor of Indiana
ADDRESS BEFORE THE MADISON COUNTY
FARMERS' INSTITUTE
February 5, 1918
Agriculture is one of the most ancient and honorable of vocations and since the more acceptable sacrifice of Abel, it has been
held in the highest esteem by all mankind.
The farmer alone really creates wealth—all others simply
change its form by the application of labor to wealth already
created.
The miner digs from the earth the metals and fuels stored
there ages ago.
The lumberman creates nothing, but fells the forests that
have been growing in mountain and valley for generations gone by.
